What is a truck bush?
Prime Shintaro.
Today I would like to write about the "truck bush", a part that affects the moving parts of a truck. Although it is a part for enthusiasts, it is an important part that skaters are very concerned about.
Let's take INDEPENDENT TRUCK, which is popular at Prime with a rating of 1.2, as an example. Indy has two types of shapes in addition to hardness.
The barrel-shaped one on the left is called "CYLINDER," and the bowl-shaped one on the right is called "CONICAL."
The barrel-shaped CYLINDER is a model that has been attached to Indy from the beginning. Even if you put your weight on it and tilt it, it has a strong force to return you to the middle position. The bush is hard to crush and is very popular.
The bowl-shaped CONICAL has a quicker turn performance. When you put your weight on it, it moves more violently than CYLINDER. By maximizing Indy's movable performance, it will evolve into a more "curving" truck. Normally, you would choose a bush based only on its hardness, but the shape also changes the movability.
What did you think of the story about the maniac Bush?
Choosing things is part of the fun and charm of skateboarding. If you have any concerns about the settings, please feel free to ask.
